This feels like the end of the Terry Neill years.

At least in those days we had Charlie Nick to hang our hopes on

Our remaining seven league games all look eminently loseable at this point.

It's important to keep things in perspective, though. We've had an amazing 20 years at or near the top; it's our team for a few years of struggle. Perhaps we can get back to enjoying the small triumphs again.

Does that mean Don Howe will be coming back to steady the ship?

Stewart Houston. If he isn't dead.

I don't see why Don Howe being dead should prevent him acting as caretaker manager. Just dig him up, stuff him and have a recording of him saying things like "At the end of the day, the Arsenal fans demand that we put eleven players on the pitch" and "The Saudis would struggle in Europe because of that problem with those prayers five times a day".

Job done imo.

Is Pat Rice getting better?
Are we still undefeated under his management?

My word. Watching a Don Howe team now would open a few people's eyes to how dire football can be.

I don't watch a lot of lower league football, but I do wonder how low you'd have to go these days until you hit the level of crapness required to be a mid-table First Division side in the early 80s.

Easier just to take a Pulis team and medically extract all the skill.

Polite rounds of applause when someone successfully traps a ball - remember those? Or when someone hits a superficially accurate, but actually quite pointless crossfield pass?

This is all too late!!! Too late now!!! If you'd told us last night we might have done something about it! But it's too late now!!!
